Description

  • Lifted oak
  • Ripe raspberries
  • Hint of spice
  • Silky tannins

"Light ruby-red, slightly lighter on the rim. The nose is gently full, with aromas of cherry, plum, spice and savoury nuance. Medium-light bodied, aromas of cherry and black plum melded with thyme, mushroom, liquorice and cinnamon. The wine is elegant, with juicy fruit and a silky tannin frame. Lively acidity carries savoury development and complexity" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Mar 2025

"Expressing elegance and youthful fruit flavours, the wine offers ripe cherry, raspberry and floral notes with a lovely spicy overtone. It’s smooth and gentle, displaying silky mouthfeel and soft tannins, finishing juicy and very appealing" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Dec 2020

"A lightweight, fruity, easy drinking expression with a varietal core of cherry and red berry fruit flavours. Time in bottle has brought the drinking window in focus with a fine tannins and acid line mouthfeel. Berry flavours and moderate finish leave this wine ready to drink from day f purchase through end of summer 2026" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

A round and soft Pinot Noir with flavours of fresh, ripe raspberries, boysenberry and a hint of spice. The palate is concentrated and focused with juicy fruit intensity and finishes with a nice oak lift. Silky tannins complement a long toasty finish and excellent mouthfeel.

Fruit was selected from a number of specifically chosen low cropping vineyards from the Southern Valleys region of Marlborough. A proportion of it went to oak where it underwent malolactic fermentation before being blended ready for bottling.

An appealing and easy-drinking Pinot suitable for any occasion. Perfect for drinking now and will continue to develop well for 4-5 years from vintage date.

Food Pairing: A great food match with rack of lamb or barbeque chicken pizza.
